We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
Russia has suffered another Internet outrage, this time triggered by a power outage. This is not a new phenomenon and is possibly linked to cyber-warfare. Here are three articles for context:

"Hundreds of websites on the Russian-speaking internet were inaccessible Tuesday evening as a DNSSEC failure took .ru and .рф domains offline.
Users both inside and outside Russia complained of outages of major web-based platforms like Tinkoff Bank, online marketplaces Avito and Wildberries, search engine Yandex and telecoms provider MTS": https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/01/30/mass-blackout-takes-russian-internet-offline-a83919

Is Russia really about to cut itself off from the internet? And what can we expect if it does?
The invasion of Ukraine has triggered a significant digital shift for Russia. Sanctions imposed by governments around the world — together with company closures or mothballing — have significantly impacted the country.
A plethora of events have escalated the invasion into the digital world, with cyber attacks, cyber criminals taking sides, and even an IT army of civilians being mobilised by Ukraine.
The sanctions imposed on Russia have not only directly hit its economy (and by extension the global economy), but are now also threatening Russian citizens' access to the internet.
It's expected the nation will limit its reliance on the global internet very soon. Although a complete disconnection isn't yet confirmed, even a partial disconnection would be a difficult task. And the repercussions of Russia's growing digital isolation for its citizens will be immense.

🇬🇧 The Prevent video game that treats every teenager like a far-Right extremist
Youngsters threatened with referral to anti-terror programme if they question migration while playing
A state-funded computer game is warning teenagers that they risk being referred to a counter-terrorism programme if they question mass migration.
Pathways is an interactive game designed for 11- to 18-year-old pupils and funded by Prevent, a Home Office programme for tackling extremism.
Young players are directed to help their in-game characters – a white teenage boy and girl – to avoid being reported for “extreme Right-wing ideology” after discussing migration online.
Characters can face extremism referrals if they choose to engage with groups that spread “harmful ideological messages”, or join protests against the “erosion of British values”. Even researching online immigration statistics is portrayed negatively.
